Bah Humbug!

Thats what the election process means to me...smooth talking ads that either trash the opposition or promise things well out of reach, and OH, subject to change.

I majored in Political Science when seeking my Masters degree at Univ California. My education included a stint as an intern with a state assemblyman. I quickly realized that the reason there are so many lawyers run for office is (besides the need for power and money ) the huge ego boost that comes from running for office, and in the case of lawyers, the ability to talk in a way that seems credible on any topic, even when so full of it normally blue eyes turn brown...aka full of sh$t...

After seeing the dismal reality of elected office while working on several campaigns , the deals, the smoozing, I said phooey and went into work in the real world.

I wish "None of the above " was a choice offered on the ballot...
